I don't know enough about Windows to answer this, but I use
Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 (7.1)
to build my binaries.

As far as I know, that is an outtake from Visual Studio, but
I don't know which version it corresponds to.

Do your DLL work with the PostgreSQL binaries that EnterpriseDB offers for
download? If yes, then I'd be interested in publishing them.
